I took a look around the restaurant and, as expected, they had already come in first.
Sitting in the corner playing games on my iPhone… .
…What are you doing alone?
When I waved the cake right next to his face, Seonghyeon suddenly flinched in surprise as if he saw me and said.
"This fucking bastard, he's here now…."
Oh, I was embarrassed. I was embarrassed.
As I smiled and placed the cake on the table, he sat down across from me with the table between them, and looked at me with eyes that wondered what the heck was going on.
"…who are you?"
This is so much fun….
"Excuse me… Are you Seonghyeon?"
"…That's right…that's right."
As expected, he stutters a lot. Are you that nervous?
"It's your birthday today, right?"
"…Ah…yes, yes…."
"Um…what should I say, Taesu asked me to go in his place…he said it was his birthday and that he would introduce me to a friend, so I came."
It feels strange when I hear someone call my name as if it were someone else's.
Seonghyeon listened quietly to what I was saying, then suddenly placed his hand on his forehead, rubbed his temples, and sighed.
"Ah… that crazy kid…!"
Then, he just randomly calls someone on his cell phone.
You're definitely betting on me.
Sorry, but I turned off my phone. It won't respond no matter how many times I call or text it.
"Okay, just a moment."
When I didn't answer the phone, Seonghyeon suddenly got up from his seat and went out of the store.
Judging from his usual behavior, he must be calling around right now, asking if anyone is reaching him.
Sorry, I locked the door and turned off my phone. I even told the dorm staff when I left that I might not be home today, so if anyone came looking for me, they wouldn't open the door or anything.
After saying that, he went back into hiding, changed into a woman, and then came back out of hiding.
Cheers to the dragon-led me.
I toasted alone and drank water from the cup placed in front of me.
Seonghyun… It's your birthday, so why are you dating a guy? Why don't you go on a date with a girl to gain some courage?
The problem is that woman is me!
ah….
Suddenly it started to get really fun… .
Becoming a completely different person is more fun than you might think.
Should I say that I feel like I'm scamming the whole world?
But I don't completely forget myself, so sometimes I have a strange feeling of why I'm like this. It's natural, since even if my appearance changes, my insides don't completely change.
My guess is that the inside of it has changed a little bit too… .
… Now that I think about it, if that's really the case, it might be a little dangerous. I guess I'll have to think about this later.
While I was thinking that, Seonghyeon came into the store. He came in sighing.
I was laughing to myself like a weirdo, thinking that I would be flustered and stammering like that in the future, when Seonghyeon came up to me.
"Ah… over there, uh, that… uh, I'm not answering the phone…."
"Oh, before I brought my broken phone out, we had a conversation on messenger, and I said that my phone was acting weird and that I was going to get it repaired."
"Oh, really? Then leave some other contact information…."
"Let's sit down and talk first."
"Ah, ah, yes."
I'm really confused.
This is the first time I've seen Seonghyeon stutter like this. It's a new world record for stuttering.
"I came here because they said the meat was delicious, but should I order rice first?"
"Huh? Oh, yes. What, what would you like to eat… Ah, this place, yeah, the pork is tasty, but the beef is even, tastier."
"Um… Then do you have any recommendations?"
"Okay, I'll order it then."
Groping, groping, groping... He's groping a lot.
Seonghyeon called his staff and ordered two servings of kkotsal and wooseol each.
It's my favorite part. Well, when I came here with Seonghyun, we ate it and both said it was delicious, so I think you'll remember it.
Would you rather order the thing that tasted the best than order something else and end up with something that tastes bad?
The charcoal fire was lit right away and the meat was served on a white plate. It is hard to find a meat restaurant overseas that uses charcoal, but here, they set up the charcoal fire just like in a Korean restaurant, so the heat was good.
"The firepower is really good."
"That, that's right. Firepower is important when grilling meat…."
"Hey, I know we're the same age, but you're speaking informally to me."
"Are you 21 years old?"
"I told you to speak informally."
Seonghyeon made a mistake by pouring water into a cup and spilling it on the table. He wiped it with the tissue placed next to him, but it was obvious that he was nervous.
Oh, this is really fun… .
"Oh, thank you."
As I picked up a side dish with my chopsticks, he picked up the plate and placed it towards me.
Is that okay? If you want to do it, you can do it.
… I thought so, but Seonghyeon didn't say anything even while the meat was grilling. I think he thought he should just not speak at all because he kept stuttering.
"Oh, do you want it all, all baked? Or, oh, do you want it a little less baked, a little more baked?"
Because it is beef, the taste changes depending on how well it is cooked.
"Which one do you like?"
"I, I'd like it a little undercooked…."
"Then just eat it now. I like it less cooked too."
Even though I told him to speak informally, Seonghyeon didn't lower his voice at all, so I'm still using formal language.
… Somehow, I started to feel nervous.
It was fun until just now, but now that I see you're so nervous, I think it's rubbing off on me.
"oh."
I was eating meat and tried dipping it in sauce, and the sauce fell on my chest.
Tissue, tissue.
"Ah, um… because my chest is big… ahaha…."
I said it in a way that I thought I could just laugh it off, but… Seonghyeon didn't seem to take it that way and his face hardened even more.
I feel like I can't speak because I don't know how to respond.
He used to tell me that he also had trouble speaking, so I can guess why he does that.
hmm….
Stop teasing me.
I came here to give you a date with a pretty girl as a birthday present and to give you some courage to speak less, but I'm afraid it might have the opposite effect because I see you getting more and more nervous.
"Isn't it tasty?"
"yes?"
"You haven't said anything since earlier. Why are you so quiet on your birthday?"
"Ah, that, that, ah, I'm sorry…."
… I apologize.
You seem really nervous.
The sympathy gauge is too high. Hmm, such a stereotypical sympathy... Why do I get so embarrassed?
Is it because of my chest? Are my chests too big?
No matter how much I think about it, there is no other reason than the face and chest. Since we are eating together, you can only see the upper body.
It's too quiet.
I wasn't the type of person to eat quietly, but I'm sure... I'm the type of person who, while eating, constantly evaluates the taste, what's going on, what part of the food looks like, and what the smell is like...
Since I'm a picky eater, I can eat satisfyingly at places where we both think the food is delicious, so we go out to eat together and get to know each other well.
This guy isn't the type to eat quietly.
"Would you like a beer?"
In times like this, it would be best to order this guy's favorite beer. Beer otaku guy. Talk to me all you want about your favorite beer.
"Oh, yes, if you want to drink, order."
Where did all the talk about your favorite beer go!
'Why have you become so dumb, Seonghyeon… .'
I came here to relieve tension, but I ended up making it more tense.
This won't work. I wonder what kind of stories he likes to tell... Let's just bring up a lot of stories like that.
